1300 dollar limit

[b-ron]

i have been saving up some cash to get some parts i do not want to go past 1300 bucks this is what i came up with

ATP Front Mount Intercooler Kit

MSD's Dashhawk PnP ODB II Scan Tool

Turbosmart Manual Boost Controller

im bone stock except for the free modes like mm and intake mod. would you guys come up with a different list? thanks:cool:

[udontknowjack]

get turboxs fmic instead......

[b-ron]

wat makes it that much better? thanks. my goal is to get around 300 to 325 whp. i no i need more than what listed just making sure this is a good start

[numbnuts22715]

i think id wait on a fmic if i were you.

Why not get a real intake, maybe a downpipe(cp-e is probably the best right now), a motor mount, and then the dashhawk?

real intake= cobb sf=180
cp-e downpipe can be had for around 680
motor mount- 90-140(trz-cp-e)
dash hawk can be found for around 250.

That puts you pretty close to where you want to be. You could probably still even get the boost controller, and a map clamp if that isnt fast enough for you.

that sounds good as well but dont our cars heat soak like crazy? o and i forgot that i have an hks bov

[numbnuts22715]

Unless you'll be sitting in traffic or doing back to back WOT runs, you should be okay with the stocker for now. The intake and exhaust are both pretty big restrictions, so I'd try to get rid of those as fast as possible

[b-ron]

sounds good!!!! thanks for the fast info

[udontknowjack]

unless u race your ms3....heatsoak is not gonna bother you that much... dp is great gain.....instead of fmic....maybe get dp and manifold....

[b-ron]

i was thinking just getting a cut out instead of exhaust. as far as down pipe that was later down the list but now seems like it need to be up on top of the list. thanks

If you lived in a place where it actually gets hot in the summer you wouldn't be saying that. It just hit the upper 80's where I live and if you're not moving for as little as 30 sec you will start to heat soak. I had boost temps get up to 160 degrees the other day just from some stop and go driving.... I'm definately looking into a fmic in the future. Mostly likely CP-E or Cobb.

yea it gets into the low 100s in morgan hill in the summer time

+1 on doing the intake and exhaust first.

[D_Roc7822]

This is how I did everything... I got the Motor Mount first.. then the turbosmart BOV to get rid of the leaky stock on and then Cobb Intake and CPE Catless and then I got the Front mount. My next purchase is the PG manifold...

[goner]

i'd say turbo xs stealth back (down pipe/race pipe). cobb intake. get rid of the dash hawk. get a recirculating bov hybrid (recirc. a must). some suspension (springs) a boost guage and you still might have $100 for two tanks of gas !

i can have a custom 3 inch cat back exhaust made for 120 what do you guys think? will it compare to the other catbacks out there thanks

[Captain KRM P5]

if you want some discounts to help stretch that 1300 let me know

[aaronc7]

mandrel bent? what kind of metal? just straight pipe?

FMIC will be nice, but get intake, motor mount, downpipe first.

Cutout will probably leak down the road...I was looking into for myself but they all leak as far as i could tell

[D_Roc7822]

Get the PG Manifold Rotus is selling for 465.00 shipped before I break down and buy it lol.

[aaronc7]

I would jump on that too if I wasn't broke at the moment

[b-ron]

Don't even bother with a cat back if you're on a budget, all it really does is change the sound. If you want more power get a downpipe or at the very least get a racepipe. If you want a different sound and more power then get a Vibrant exhaust, it replaces the racepipe section with a high flow cat and you get a nice sounding exhaust.

So, if you wanna spend $120 on your exhaust system, get a race pipe.

CAI, Motor Mounts, and Downpipe. Best HP gain for the money, and all easy. If that leaves some money, go for a BPV maybe?

[ssinstaller]

Exaust Depot FMIC, CPE standback.
